Reviews for Calamitous Liaisons

"The opening song in Tricity’s performance was 'The Men I've Had Before', a fast paced, playful number about, well... the men she’d had before. I’d listened to the song already, so my excitement was piqued well before she appeared from behind the red curtain; first came the eyelashes, then the woman herself!

Tricity seamlessly guided her audience through the trials and tribulations of a colourful love life, using only her ukulele, fabulous voice and downright charm. Her original songs feature stories that are easily relatable to anyone who’s ever had a few romantic woes of their own, but are told with far more candour than most of us dare.

I thoroughly enjoyed Calamitous liaisons, and found it to be wickedly funny, full of energy and wholly enchanting....."Nicola Grant, The Mahogany Bar, Wilton's Music Hall"Loved last night. Still humming Ladylove for some strange reason. Very catchy."R Sykes

"So very good it earns T.V. the forgiveness she'll need if it turns out she lied outrageously when she said it was the last outing for this show. So very glad I made it if she was, in fact, being as grippingly honest as her performance!"Caroline Grannell

"The dark and atmospheric Mahogany Bar was a perfect setting for this deliciously naughty frolic with the ever delightful and glamorous Tricity Vogue.

Entering from her boudoir behind a red curtain Tricity began with a saucy tale of her various conquest’s Nebuchadnezzars and get-jiggy skills! This prompted many a blush and nervous giggle but certainly broke the ice! After a quick swig from the wine bottle she then led us sometimes gently, sometimes poignantly, often riotously but always with immense charm and wit through her many calamitous romantic capers. The final song went a little off-piste with a tale of giving Lady Love a whirl! I, for one, sincerely hope this is a path she chooses not to follow as it would surely limit material for an equally entertaining follow up album (or perhaps not ;) )!

Calamitous Liaisons, another triumph from the original, beautiful and most talented Ms Tricity Vogue! Do buy the album and enjoy the rest of her romantic escapades."Tim Jefford

"This was such great fun - the intimate setting upstairs at the Coach and Horses added to the atmosphere of the show, and Tricity's Calamitous Liaisons were by turns risque, laugh out loud funny and painfully familiar to anyone who ever felt unlucky in love. As the show ended with stunning new song "Ladylove," I felt we had been steered through troubled waters back to port in steady and capable hands. Can't wait for the next instalment!"Gill Wilkinson & Chris Westwood

"Witty, honest, elegantly
refined and sometimes exceptionally rude, like being flashed by the
Queen during the amuse bouche. Warning: Not suitable for first dates."Ahmed, Flaneur & Engineer

"We had a wonderful night out at Tricity's one
woman show "Calamitous Liaisons". Great songs and entertaing anecdotes ensure a very amusing journey through the life of Tricity Vogue."Steven
Tagg-Randall, Video Archivist

"Intimate surroundings in a fab little pub in Soho, with Peter O'Toole's stool - would have happily paid extra if I'd known I was going to be in the same room as celebrity furniture! Intelligently crafted songs beautifully sung. Tricity plucked and strummed the ukulele creating a wave of audible honey over the assembled punters. Fun frivolous and frolicking in all the right places, it could have only been an evening with the fabulous one and only Tricity Vogue."Zoe Denham "Charming, sharp, witty and fun!"Michael Barry

"This was a wonderful evening - charming, witty, and moving. I smiled and laughed throughout and was left wanting more..."Charlotte Ginsborg

"Beautifully naughty, disarming and funny, and the songs stayed with me for a week. (Ok it hasn't been a week but I'm confident. Ladylove was in my head as I cycled around today and I was itching to listen to it. I haven't had that about any tune at all for years to the point where I was wondering if I'd ever feel like that again, so thanks)." Rosa Conrad, musician

"I raise my glass to Tricity Vogue for charming, alarming, sustaining and entertaining me! What a lovely night with a fabulously talented and beguiling sassy, strumming songbird. This liaison, for me, was far from calamitous xxx" Lana Shelley, musician

"Loved the doodahs tonight. Let me know when you do them again because, dear me, it all works."@mister_meredith via twitter

"I accepted Tricity Vogue's invitation to come into her boudoir, and I did not regret it. With delightful tunes and soulful voice, she took us all on a beguiling ride of heartbreak and ecstasy."Audience member

"I loved the show: a scintillating and captivating performance with very
memorable songs."

Richard Link, composer

"Just wanted to say thank you for a lovely time. You touched us. We
laughed and we cried. You are one talented lady."

Audience member

"As much fun as you could hope to have on a Sunday
evening with your clothes on or off or with a ukelele and not get arrested. Music and passion always in fashion with Tricity
Vogue's heart warming lust for life and love reminiscences."

Pete Saunders, pianist

"Great way to be amused early Sunday Evening. Tricity's infectious humour
works perfectly in this intimate dining room and her calamitous liaisons seem
to ring a bell with most of the audience. Raucous applause was well deserved,"Coach and Horses Landlord

"Thank you so much for a brilliantly
entertaining night, such funny & charming songs & stories. We went
home humming & happy!"

"It was really special. I don't think you could have picked a more
perfect venue to debut your show. When I saw it was unmic'd, I was worried how it would come across, but it
couldn't have been any more suitable. Your voice is exceptional - it was such a
great experience to hear your voice live, especially as I already know most of
the songs. The show felt very intimate, you had everyone so spellbound,
my mind didn't wander at any point. I actually forgot I was holding a wee in for
over an hour haah..."

Audience member

"How wonderful to see the delectable Tricity Vogue in an intimate show
with riotously witty songs that also include true soulfulness and poignancy."Audience member

"Charming and warm, Tricity Vogue puts humour and hilarity into heartache."Audience member

"A really warm and uplifiting show. Stopped me mithering over my own
stupid relationship for 5 minutes! Hope there are plenty more West End outings
for C.L."

“We’ve all had our share of love stories gone bad,
but not all of us have the talent to turn those heartbreaks into a delightful
cabaret show.” ****Delphine

After seeing the show, I did feel as though maybe you'd gone through my
diaries and written songs about me!
